In that case the only explanation I can come up with is the desire of some folks to buy a gun "off-record" without having to fill out a 4473. Call it a "privacy premium". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I never understood that either - lower receives are the same way. The only thing I can think is its because of the paperwork. I think that's probably the answer and it would apply to any gun, not just 10/22s. They're just more common and popular. People did this a lot back in the '90s because the fear was the Clinton Administration was going to try to confiscate pre-ban ARs. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:

I also wouldn't say quality has declined, they made some unreliable ones back in the day, and the new ones seem to be a bit better overall even with the cheaper components. I would still rather have the nicer finish of the old ones, but the new ones seem to have better QC. I guess it could be said that a good old gun is better than a good new gun but there seemed to be more bad old ones than bad new ones. |

I just bought a brand new 10/22 and have no complaints with the trigger. It is fit poorly in the stock, and the front sight keeps moving on me. I center punched the sight so maybe it will stay now. This gun is more accurate and reliable than the one I had in the 90's. I'll keep it unless it keeps trying to self disassemble. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: maybe a lot of people want to buy some guns without 4473 trails? There are plenty of people out there who want to do that. During the '90s the gun boards were full of advice on how to completely stay off the government's radar when it came to owning guns. You can do it, but it's very, very, very difficult. Basically, you have to buy anything gun-related with cash -- ammo, supplies, etc. All guns must be bought face-to-face. You can't get a hunting license, CCW permit, or even attend a hunter's safety course, because all of those put you on a government database. Some paranoid persons refused to even join the NRA or other groups for fear their records would be hacked/seized or they were infiltrated by the FBI. Yeah, some gun owners were pretty paranoid during the '90s....  |

Base 10-22 quality has fell off so much in the last 10 years that I'd never recommend one as a first or only .22 rifle. They seem to be built only with a mind to be scrapped for the receiver.
Today you are likely as not to get a loose barrel, canted sights, and a tight spot in the bore where the rear sight dovetail is cut. Even the formerly uber-reliable 10 round rotary mags are having issues it seems. The days are long gone when you could feed anything into a 10-22 and it would eat it. I never thought I'd see the day when the humble Marlin Model 60 is a far and away better rifle in all the respects that matter.

In the gun world usually some feature or function specific to that particular version plus it no longer being made or in short supply will mean automatic high demand and increased price in the second hand market. It doesn't even have to be a desirable or successful feature, it just has to be limited or discontinued. It needs to have some air that if we can't get it now we will never get one, may not have even wanted one in the first place.

OP, I own a new 10-22 that I bought on sale.
I also own a couple of 10-22s that are 20-25 years old. I guarantee you that the older ones were made better. Much better. I would trade my new one for one about 20 years old that had been taken care of right now. Even money. Did the front sight fall off of my older ones? No. Did it fall off of my new one? Yes. Did the pins in the trigger group fall out of my older ones? No. Do they fall out of my newer one? Yes. Did they use cheap-assed plastic for the lower receiver/tigger housing on my older ones? No. Did they use cheap-assed plastic on my new one? Yes. I rest my case. |

Not wanting a 10/22 is hating it because it isn't 1/4 MOA. Drama queens around here. 
The 10/22 doesn't do anything that other rifles I own do better. I don't buy guns just to say I have one, I buy guns for specific reasons. There is no reason for me to own a 10/22. It sat in the safe gathering dust so I sold it. |

the older ones are generally better out of the box than the current production models. older 10/22s had better factory barrels, and the trigger group was metal, not plastic. my $189 carbine was shotgun pattern accurate out of the box.

I have a Remington 597 that feels like a full-size rifle where a 10/22 feels like a toy. Bought it well before the big merger, so I don't know what they're like now though. I honestly don't know which modern .22 autoloader I'd be looking at if I didn't have one and needed one. One of the AR replicas, probably. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Because people by and large are fucking retarded The average person is an absolute moron. They value their own perceptions far more than facts and figures. The gun is used, so it is cheaper than a new one, they know that without bothering to check prices. It is a Ruger, that means that it is the most awesome gun ever built, they know that, they don't have to investigate features and specs to know that there is no gun that might possible fill their specific need as well as a Ruger. |
